A Few Last Words

I leave tonight (well, 1:00 AM on Friday). My nerves, excitement, and all that jazz are growing! God has provided most of the funds and I am ready to get on that plane to New York with the other three girls from UNC. Thank you all for your prayers and support so far, I would not have been able to do it on my own! This will be my last post before we arrive in Kenya and I am not sure how often I will be able to get news out to you. Just don't assume the worst if you don't hear from me. :)
Here are some more prayer requests for me and my team:
- Team building
- My openness to my team and the culture, flexibility
- Safety, smooth travel (We fly to Kenya on the 4th and after an overnight in Qatar, we arrive on the 6th)
- Being prepared spiritually, mentally, and physically
- For me to fully depend on God as I am stretched and pushed to do things I may not want to do (and a good attitude to go with it!)
- Boldness
- And the spiritual warfare we will face. There is an enemy who would love to thwart our plans.

Words cannot express my emotions, but I am so blessed to have all of you in my life who care about my aspirations and adventures!

All my love,
Missy
